At the peak of last week’s heat, when the mid 30s was expected in the Southeast of England, Scotland was only forecasted to reach 25 or 26C. With the aid of southerly winds and some downslope enhancement off the Grampians, 30C was achieved in Scotland for a third time this summer. This time it was […]
